Just Almond and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Vegan Treat.

As promised, my brand new recipe for Just Almond and Chocolate Chip Cookies is revealed. Everyone needs a crowd-pleasing, slightly unique cookie recipe to grab on a rainy day, and this one will blow you away. My inspiration? One of my product finds of the week: “Just Almond Meal” that I purchased at Trader Joe’s. It’s a fine milled powder made from 100% ground almonds. Enough chatter, lets get to this recipe! And more yummy photos….

Perfect Cookies? Yes. These cookies were perfect. I can’t tell you how warm, gooey, chewy and flavorful they tasted just out of the oven. Creamy melting chocolate chips all over my face. And I stuck them in the fridge for the next day-they still tasted amazing. Lovely. Really.Trader Joe’s Inspired. I honestly didn’t mean to do this, but almost every item I used was purchased at TJ’s. The only non TJ’s item was my Silk Live Vanilla Soy Yogurt. Makes for an easy shopping trip.

7. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before handling. You can also transfer to a cooling rack if you have one.

Storage: Store on counter-top for a day-store in the fridge for a few days-freeze for longer.

Hi linda, It is the baking soda! I need to change that asap. When I wrote this recipe I was debating using baking soda or powder. Since I wanted to use mostly Trader Joe's ingredients and wasn't sure if they had powder, I used TJ's baking soda. My cookies didn't have an off taste to me, but various factors could've made your soda stand out more. Use baking powder next time and the metallic taste won't appear. I will change this in recipe . Thank u for your feedback.

Hi – I just recently found your site and have tried some of your delicious recipes. I made these yesterday and they have a slightly sour, metallic taste. I was wondering what that might be from? (from the baking soda or flour?) Any ideas? Otherwise in concept they are very good. Matched each ingredient to the tee – however did use whole wheat pastry flour and soy milk in place of the creamer. Thanks!

I made these today. I couldn't find almond meal at the store (we don't have trader joes) so I pulverized some almonds in the food processor. Instead of chocolate chips I did chocolate chunk but chopping up some super dark vegan chocolate and I accidently left out the flax meal but they were still delicious! This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've tried!
